Question

A nurse is developing a community program aimed at adults in midlife. Which activity supports Erikson's concept of generativity?

Answer 1

Correct Answers:

Create volunteer opportunities for community service.

Rationale :

🟠In Erikson’s stage of Generativity vs. Stagnation (ages 40–65), adults strive to contribute to society and guide the next generation through productive and meaningful activities.

🟠Volunteer work fosters purpose, mentorship, and community involvement, which are essential expressions of generativity.

🟠It allows adults to leave a positive legacy, enhancing self-worth and social connectedness.

🟠In contrast, stagnation results from self-absorption and lack of contribution to others’ well-being.

🟠Encouraging volunteerism promotes both psychosocial growth and community wellness.

Answer 2

Correct Answers:

The leading cause of death in infants after birth defects and premature birth

Rationale :

🔷Unintentional injuries (accidents) are the leading cause of death in infants following birth defects and prematurity.

🔷Caregiver education should focus on injury prevention—safe sleep, car seat use, drowning prevention, and choking hazards.

🔷Addressing environmental risks (e.g., unsecured furniture, unsafe bedding) helps reduce infant mortality.

🔷Awareness of leading causes guides evidence-based safety interventions in community education.

🔷The nurse’s teaching empowers caregivers to provide a safe, developmentally appropriate environment.

Answer 3

Correct Answers:

Risk-taking behaviors while driving.

Rationale :

🌿Adolescents commonly engage in risk-taking behaviors due to feelings of invulnerability and peer influence.

🌿Driving recklessly or under the influence represents the most immediate and life-threatening safety risk in this age group.

🌿Motor vehicle accidents remain a leading cause of death among adolescents.

🌿The nurse should prioritize injury prevention education, promoting seat belt use, safe driving, and avoidance of substance use.

🌿Focusing on these risks protects adolescent health and prevents fatal outcomes.

Answer 4

Correct Answers:

BMI of 32

Rationale :

💠A BMI ≥30 is classified as obese, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and CDC standards.

💠Obesity increases risks for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome.

💠A BMI of 25–29.9 is considered overweight, while 18.5–24.9 is normal, and <18.5 is underweight.

💠For a 26-year-old adult, obesity management includes balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and behavioral support.

💠The nurse should provide counseling and resources for long-term lifestyle modification.

Correct Answers:

Calm and reassuring

Rationale :

💎A calm and reassuring tone communicates trust, confidence, and empathy, essential for effective nurse–client interaction.

💎This tone helps reduce anxiety, especially during explanations of procedures or treatments.

💎It encourages the client to ask questions and fosters a therapeutic, safe environment.

💎In contrast, loud, rushed, or monotone tones increase tension and impair comprehension.

💎Professional communication relies on clarity, respect, and emotional stability conveyed through voice.

Answer 9

Correct Answers

Blank 1 Correct Option: false reassurance
Blank 2 Correct Option: minimizing the client's concerns

Rationale :

☑️Saying “You’ll be just fine—don’t worry” is false reassurance, because it offers unfounded certainty instead of addressing the client’s actual fears.

☑️False reassurance short-circuits therapeutic communication by bypassing empathy and validation, so the client may feel dismissed or unheard.

☑️This response minimizes the client’s concerns, implying their worries are insignificant, which can erode trust and reduce disclosure of important symptoms.

☑️Effective alternatives include reflection (“It sounds like you’re scared about the results”) and open-ended exploration (“Can you tell me more about what worries you?”), which validate emotions and promote accurate assessment.

☑️Clinically, avoiding false reassurance improves shared decision-making, adherence, and psychological safety, leading to better outcomes and stronger nurse–client rapport.

Answer 10

Correct Answers:

Develop an exercise plan to maintain healthy body mass index.

Rationale :

➡️Regular exercise is one of the most effective lifestyle interventions to improve physical health, emotional well-being, and functional independence in older adults.

➡️Physical activity maintains muscle strength, bone density, and cardiovascular fitness, all of which decline with age.

➡️Maintaining a healthy BMI (18.5–24.9) reduces the risk of hypertension, diabetes, and joint problems.

➡️The nurse should tailor the plan to the client’s ability and medical condition—examples include walking, swimming, or light resistance training.

➡️Combining exercise with balanced nutrition and preventive screenings supports holistic, age-appropriate wellness.
